Hi Phil,

I totally agree, as I state in my post, that the SB or TP normally
provide the clock and Slimserver "slaves" to it, providing audio data
as required.  However, with most Internet radio, the server provides
the clock, so the SB or TP must "slave" to it.  AFAIK, the SB and TP do
not actually slave the DAC clock to the Internet radio source, so they
must use some sort of ASRC, which could be as simple as just dropping
or duping samples to keep the buffer filled appropriately.  This also
must be true of synchronized playback with multiple SB; with multiple
units in sync there has to be one master and everyone else is a
slave...  My guess is that Slimserver is the master and the SB become
slaves in synchronized playback mode.
